Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Mix the oil, brown sugar , honey, and salt in a large bowl. Add other ingredients and mix well. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and spread granola out evenly. Bake in oven for 45 minutes to one hour, stirring every 15 minutes until nicely toasted. When finished, throw a handful of chocolate chips on top and allow to melt. Let mixture cool completely, then store in an airtight container.

I have used applesauce instead of the oil. It makes the granola a little “chewier”, but none of my family noticed the difference. You could also use dried fruit (I love dried pineapple in this!) instead of chocolate chips if you prefer. I eat this like cereal with milk poured over the top. Everyone in our house loves it, and it doesn’t last long. I normally double the recipe – it’s that good! 🙂
